Small gifts in a fragile world: Dr.Papie accompanies premature babies at the National Children's Hospital

On the occasion of World Premature Infant Day, November 17, Dr.Papie brand gave 150 essential gifts to the Neonatal Center - National Children's Hospital, to accompany families taking care of premature babies.

This is an activity within the campaign "For Premature Babies 2025" - the third year Dr.Papie has carried out at the National Children's Hospital as well as many hospitals across the country.

Fragile babies – a challenging journey of nurturing

At the Neonatal Center, premature babies are constantly monitored with specialized equipment, creating a unique atmosphere in the neonatal care area. Some babies weigh only a few hundred grams when they are born; others are attached to a ventilator from the first minute; and many mothers persevere to stay by their babies’ side for weeks, even months.

At the forefront of such fragility, any concern from the community becomes a valuable source of spiritual encouragement. This year's Dr.Papie gift-giving ceremony was therefore conducted gently: the gifts were given directly to each family, in accordance with the department's treatment environment.

The National Children's Hospital presented a thank you letter to Dr.Papie, recognizing its support in the program to support premature babies in 2025.

At the gift-giving ceremony, Ms. Le Thi Ha - Director of the Neonatal Center - shared: "Among vulnerable groups, newborns are the most vulnerable. And in that group, premature babies are even more fragile."

She mentioned cases of babies weighing only 7 or 8 ounces; small items like diapers or nipples being difficult to find the right size; and the stressful “two to three months in the hospital” journey that many parents are going through. These stories made the meaning of the activity even clearer: this is not just material support, but also recognition and encouragement for the persistent efforts of families and medical teams.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Health , every year in Vietnam there are tens of thousands of premature babies needing special care, making the demand for safe products for sensitive children increasingly greater. This is also the group of children that Dr.Papie pays special attention to in its product development journey.

Essential gifts are sent directly to each family to support the care of premature babies during treatment.

No one is alone in the journey of raising a premature baby.

Dr.Papie representative – Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Anh – shared her appreciation for the journey of raising premature babies: "Every premature baby is a miracle. And behind that miracle is the mother's love and the doctor's silent efforts."

She said the 150 gifts were not only a support but also a message: families are not alone in their journey of raising children. The gifts included oral gauze, warm cajeput essential oil, herbal bath water and newborn cotton swabs – small but essential items for premature babies, whose skin is thinner and whose immune system is much more sensitive than that of full-term babies.

These products are all in the product group designed by Dr.Papie specifically for newborns and sensitive children, with the principle of no alcohol - no synthetic fragrance - no colorants, suitable for the needs of hygiene and care of premature babies in the hospital.

Third year campaign – long-term commitment for premature babies

In addition to activities at the National Children's Hospital, this year's campaign is expected to present hundreds of gifts at many hospitals such as Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, the National Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital and some hospitals in the highlands. This is the third consecutive year that Dr.Papie has carried out this series of activities - with the desire to accompany, encourage, and have a long-term commitment to activities for premature babies.

Since its inception, the campaign has given away more than 500 gifts in 7 provinces and cities, showing expansion in both scale and reach over the years.

According to Ms. Le Thi Ha - Neonatal Center, every year the department wishes to organize larger meetings - where premature babies return to give hope to families who are being treated. However, the workload at the end of the year is very large, so the support from the community - no matter how small - is still especially meaningful, because it contributes to filling the gap that the hospital has not been able to fully implement.

Supporting premature babies is also part of the long-term CSR orientation of the Dr.Papie brand (STARMED GROUP), focusing on three areas: supporting newborn care - accompanying pregnant mothers - raising awareness about hygiene and caring for sensitive babies.
